Sweat trickled down my face, and my knees ached so bad that I couldn’t bare the pain any longer. We just made a basket so we were up by two points, and the crowd roared. My coach yelled, “Hustle up! Don’t let them get the ball!” I ran to the opposite end of the gym, dodging the other players. The opponent I was guarding was a huge giant compared to me. Her teammate threw her the ball so she could make us lose by one point. Everything was in slow motion. The girl half a foot taller than me was going for the winning shot!
“How am I supposed to block her? She is inches taller than me!” I thought as scurried to my opponent. I dozed out of the game for a second still thinking of a game plan. But then I realized that time was ticking. I saw the ball flying through the air. I leaped in the air and reached for the ball that was flying toward the basket. My hand made contact with the sweaty ball, and I smacked it out of the air. I had blocked the winning shot!
Look at my work!
